I hate to see or hear of anyone struggling, especially when they're putting forth as much effort as possible. So many times it seems as though when we try to take two steps forward, we're knocked back four. On the contrary, the key word there is "seems". Just because things "seem" to look a certain way, doesn't mean they actually are. For as Christians, we are to walk by faith and not by sight. I know at times this may be hard, but it is very much possible; which leads me to my Blog title: "Never Underestimate the Power of a Praying AND Fasting Woman". When things "seem" to take a wrong turn or "seem" not to work in our favor, that's just a small indication that breakthrough is just around the corner. So, instead of giving up or giving in...I decided to hold on and fight! When I talked to my mother last week, she informed me of all the things my brother was going through. He had been struggling and under attack by the e...
As I was sitting at my desk at work today listening to a new song being performed by one of my favorite Old School Hip-Hop groups called A Tribe Called Quest ( also known as ATCQ), I had a flashback of the 90's; which was a great era for music. Then I got to thinking about other groups in the 90's, such as Goodie Mob , Outkast , The Fugees ,& Jodeci , which then sent me deeper into a Flashback mode. I started asking myself the following questions: Since it appears as though a lot of great music was released in 1998, where were you that year? What were you doing? (One of my favorite Goodie Mob songs - Released in 1998) Oh boy...what did I ask those questions for? Immediately, I had opened "Pandora's Box", if you will; because all types of memories started flowing through my head, but the affect wasn't as strong as it used to be. One memory or season in particular had a huge impact on my life, which was my time as a college student at U.S.L. (Univers...
You said to ask and we'll receive! You said to only believe! Well I've asked, believed, prayed, fasted, shut-in, AND worked my faith! Still nothing! You said, "Faith without works is dead"! Well I understand that means "Faith with works is very much alive"! So, if my faith is alive, then by all means bring every other area in my life ALIVE! This is crazy! I'm waiting on you... You're waiting on me... Something has to give! Someone has to make a move! I'm doing the best I can with what I've got! Still waiting for that day of ultimate Freedom! To hell with this Modern Day Slavery! You said in your word, "He who the son sets free is free indeed"! Why do we as humans still tend to feel in bondage? I am not only having a shouting tantrum for myself! But I am crying outward and inward for all others who are waiting to be released from this Modern Day Slavery! We want Freedom! Freedom to explore the beautiful Earth you've blessed us wi...
